JAMES ARTHUR
HEADLINING MUSIC SHOWCASE SATURDAY
27TH JULY 2019
York
Racecourse are delighted to announce the headliners of Summer Music
Saturday and Music Showcase Saturday of the 2019 season.
Transporting you to the ‘Year 3000’ for a night of fun, frolics and
fantastic racing, pop-rock heavyweights BUSTED will be storming Summer
Music Saturday at York Racecourse on the 29th June. Following on 27th
July, Music Showcase Saturday
will be headlined by pop powerhouse James Arthur. The award-winning
solo artist and X Factor winner is set to play the major racecourse just
fifty miles from his home town of Middlesbrough.
Busted have grown up without growing old on their new album ‘Half Way
There’, playfully leaning towards the nostalgic and the reflective. York
Racecourse on Saturday 29th June, is set to bask in that
nostalgia and yet be taken back to the future
as the trio return to their hyperactive sound for the first time since
2003’s all-conquering, multi-platinum ‘A Present For Everyone’.
Matt, James and Charlie will be playing tracks from their recent #2
charting album plus all their greatest hits live – among them the simply
huge, unforgettable smashes ‘What I Go To School For’, ‘Crashed The
Wedding’, ‘Air Hostess’ and ‘Year 3000.’ They are
one of the biggest homegrown pop acts of the 21st century
with an incredible five million record sales, two 4-times platinum
selling albums and four number one singles to their name.
With a string of hits, including the Number Ones ‘Impossible’ and ‘Say
You Won’t Let Go’, James Arthur, the music headliner for Saturday 27th
July, has recently featured on ‘The Greatest Showman: Reimagined’; and
has picked up more than his share
of music awards and nominations. An arena-act in his own right and a
true international star with hits in Europe and America he has recently
joined the ‘billionaire’ club on Spotify with said no.1 ‘Say You Won’t
Let Go’ reaching the streaming milestone with
22million monthly listeners on the global music player.

James Brennan, Head of Marketing and Sponsorship said,
“Busted are a band we’ve been keen to have at York Racecourse for
some time as we know the crowds will know and love the music and the
party atmosphere they’ll provide after some great racing at Summer Music
Saturday. With James Arthur,
everyone at the course is really excited that a Northern boy
made good is set to play York. Add in the spectacle of the racing itself
and we hope it will prove a summer day to savour.”
